Intelligent Endpoint Security: Why Taking A Modern Approach Matters

Endpoint security is a critical component in an organization's security program and is needed to gain the visibility necessary to rapidly detect threats and contain them before criminals gain access to critical resources.

Join us for an interactive discussion and learn more about:

• How emerging security technologies are helping organizations defend against targeted attacks that use zero-days and evasion tactics to evade detection

• What technologies typically make up modern threat protection solutions and how they enable incident responders to quickly identify infected endpoints and determine the scope of an attack

• Why endpoint visibility must be combined with network, web, and messaging security solutions to create a security architecture that works cohesively to reduce the amount of time an attacker has on infected systems

• How risk assessment plays a role in strengthening your security to preempt future attacks

There’s a new threat in town – Jackpotting. It utilises malware directly infected onto ATMs, requiring no card skimmers that can be easily detected, no time needed to steal credentials, and grants access to every single dollar held in the machine.

ATM machines may not follow the strict patch management regimes that corporate machines do, leaving their operating system potentially much more vulnerable to malware attacks. Beyond the monetary loss, being Jackpotted can also negatively impact the brand, and expose the bank to regulatory action from lack of due diligence in risk management.

Hear how Symantec Cyber Security Services can help deliver a solution for these types of attacks. Through the combination of Data Center Security (DCS) and Managed Security Services (MSS) monitoring, you will receive prompt validated detection of both pre and post compromise attempts in near real-time, allowing faster responses and remediation.

2017 will see even more IoT devices introduced into business networks, along with an increasingly mobile workforce enabled by cloud applications and services. This rapid evolution of the workplace necessitates a re-look at where the security industry should focus on, in the ongoing battle against cybercriminals.

As 2016 comes to an end, our Security Intelligence team have compiled a list of the top security predictions for 2017 and beyond.

Attend our ‘Security in 2017 and Beyond: Symantec’s Predictions for the Year Ahead’ webinar and join our discussion of the upcoming threat landscape.

The sad truth is that Invaders are trying to breach your defenses every day. With five out of every six large organizations being targeted by advanced attackers, protecting your data is a smart way to keep you from becoming tomorrow’s headline.

So what does data protection mean? A comprehensive approach allows the right people to access the right data, anywhere, by controlling access, monitoring its flow, and keeping it out of the wrong hands.

We will explain how Symantec technology addresses this approach and how you will benefit from:

•Grant and ensure access only for authorized users with strong, multi-factor authentication, on any device, including BYOD.
•Watching over data wherever it lives—in the cloud, on premise, in motion, and at rest.
•Preventing data loss with unified policy controls to encrypt or block vulnerable information before it leaves the gate.

Symantec Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) – the industry’s leading network, email and endpoint protection solution – is upgrading its capabilities again this October. The new release of Symantec ATP adds Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and workflow integration with Public API, Splunk, Service Now and more.

This upcoming webinar explores how these new integrations can simplify threat management by giving you a better view of your security posture, enabling your security teams to quickly detect and respond to internal and external attacks, minimising the risk to safeguard your business.

Technology has become so integrated into our lives that messaging has become a habitual action. Unfortunately, this lack of mindfulness allows attackers to circumvent even the strongest cybersecurity technologies and defenses, through phishing emails and malicious hyperlinks.

In an organisation, people are often the weakest link in the chain of cyber-security. Even the most conscientious employee may fall victim to a well-crafted phishing email, which can appear legitimate to untrained eyes.

As the business landscape redefines itself with the adoption of big data, mobile computing and social media, traditional Security Operations Centres (SOC) that only monitor an organisation’s network no longer provide adequate protection.

Are you concerned about securing your users and data in cloud based collaboration applications like Office 365? You’re not alone. Over 35% of Microsoft Exchange installed base is now on Office 365. Many of these enterprises are actively seeking to extend the same level of security and consistent policies they have in place for existing on-premise and cloud applications, to Office 365.

Consider these statistics from IDC:

• Over 50% enterprises have users that access their Office 365 applications using unmanaged mobile devices
• Over 90% of threats to enterprises emanate from email
• 65% of threats go undetected for weeks/months

IT administrators lose traditional visibility and control when enterprises move email, content creation, file sharing, and collaboration to the cloud; making it harder to detect inappropriate behavior. This makes it critical for organizations to extend the basic security capabilities of Office 365 and ensure consistency in the level of security across all their cloud services.

Securing cloud applications like Office 365 is a shared responsibility between the cloud service provider and the tenant. Analysts like Gartner and IDC recommend assessing third party security products as a best practice in a comprehensive Office 365 security framework.

Join us for this webcast where we tackle the challenge of securing Office 365 head on and show you how your organization can take Office 365 security to a new level.

It’s an unfortunate truth: cyber crime has become part of our daily lives. Even though mega-breaches no longer surprise us, it’s still essential to be vigilant and protect your organization.

As the cyber threats in the business world evolve, so do the demands on your IT security specialists and their expertise. However it is widely acknowledged that finding, attracting and retaining the skilled talent needed to build and maintain a solid cyber security team presents its own challenges.

Skilled professionals are in high demand, so attrition is rife, but there is also a fundamental shortage of the number of cyber security experts available to respond to the evolving threat landscape and protect our businesses.

In this webinar, Peter Sparkes will explore the skills gap in the different stages of a security programme and provide recommendations on:

• How to create and operationalise a robust cyber security team
• How to build and upskill existing talent
• Approaches to address the skills gap in different stages of your security programme
• Different methods of sourcing skilled security professionals

The threat landscape is evolving quickly, and you have to keep up. Many organisations are still in a reactive mode, addressing vulnerabilities and threats by relying on information freely available on the web - by which time the damage has already been done. On the other hand, IT security professionals with too much information available become uncertain of how to incorporate the threat intelligence into their security programme, and end up relying on protection from the perimeter.

In this session, we’ll discuss how organisations can incorporate threat intelligence into their security programmes and focus on the threats most relevant to your environment to reduce the risk or impact from an incident.

You’ll learn:
• What threat intelligence is, and is not.
• Best practices to consume threat intelligence.
• How to put intelligence into context and make it actionable.
• Incorporating intelligence into the lifecycle of your security programmes.

As advanced threats rapidly increase in complexity, technology must evolve to find smarter ways of detecting and blocking attack techniques across IT control points.

Symantec has developed 3 innovative technologies with Advanced Threat Protection that will change the game - helping customers detect, prioritise and respond to threats within minutes – from a single console, with a single click.

Changes in the threat landscape over the past couple of years demonstrate that whilst attackers are moving faster with more sophisticated methods, defenses are not. In 2014 we experienced more far-reaching vulnerabilities, even faster attacks, more files held for ransom and far more malicious code than in previous years.

So what does this mean for the future of your cyber security strategy?

In this webinar, Symantec security expert Peter Sparkes will explore trends impacting the threat landscape and what organisations should consider when building a cyber security strategy that moves from a strategy of prevention only to a strategy of “core" prevention, detection and rapid response and remediation. In this session we will explore:

• How the Internet of Things will impact your security posture.
• How big data & security analytics can improve detection against emerging and advanced threats.
• How to move to a proactive cycle of rapid response and remediation.

Are you prepared to face the consequences of today’s sophisticated APTs?

The volume and sophistication of today’s threats are escalating beyond the scope of traditional security strategies. Many IT departments struggle to detect, contain and remediate against new and emerging APTs.

Security strategies relying on point products that lack integration and visibility across all attack vectors are no longer enough.

Symantec understands the next level of advanced threat protection is hinged on a security strategy that spans emails, networks and endpoints – and must provide:
- Unmatched visibility and intelligence across all attack vectors
- Swift response and remediation with a single click – from a single console
- Easing of IT resources that would otherwise be spent on chasing false positives
- Reducing the risk of losing critical organizational data that might result in business loss
